Create an Expression

Use the Expression window (accessed from within the Expression Manager) to create a Stored Expression, which is accessible wherever an Expression is used in CSM.

Unlike Stored Expressions, Custom Expressions are created from many places in CSM and used only where they are created. However, Custom Expressions can be saved as Stored Expressions by selecting the Convert to Stored Expression button in the Custom Expression Builder.

To create an Expression:

  1. Open the Expression Manager.
  2. Select a scope and subfolder (if needed).
  3. Select Create NewCreate New Button.
  4. Provide a name and description (these are searchable in CSM Item Managers).
  5. Select an Expression type from the Editor drop-down list, and then define its properties:
    • Aggregate
    • Case
    • Counter
    • Date/Time
    • Duration
    • Logical
    • Number
    • Sentiment
    • Text
    • User/Data

  6. Select Save.
